Today, the Maryland Conservative Action Network (MDCAN) is hosting a daylong conference in Annapolis entitled "Turning the Tides." Those scheduled to attend include Republican state Dels. Nic Kipke and Neil Parrott, Frederick County Board of Commissioners President Blaine Young, and former Republican candidates for federal office Dan Bongino and Ken Timmerman.

Unfortunately,
instead of selecting a legitimate conservative activist as headline
speaker, MDCAN has chosen Pamela Geller, the leader of a designated hate
group and one of America's most virulent Islamophobes.

Ms.
Geller has most recently received media attention for posting
inflammatory ads in metro stations across the country equating Muslims
with savages and inciting hatred and fear of Muslims post-Sept. 11. She
heads Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA), which the Southern
Poverty Law Center considers a hate group.

Inflammatory? To whom? Violent jihadists? The ad said, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad." It clearly refers to jihadists who target Israeli civilians, not all Muslims, as savages. Like so many other leftists and Islamic supremacists, Chaudry is reading into my ad the idea that "all Muslims" are
savages who want to destroy Israel. That is nowhere in my message. They
are the ones who are assuming that to talk about jihadist savages is to
talk about all Muslims, which means that they are the Islamophobes and
racists. The rush to assure the world that the "Palestinian" jihadists
are not savages amazes me. The war on Israel is a war on innocent
civilians. The targeting of civilians is savage. The relentless 60-year
campaign of terror against the Jewish people is savage. The torture of
hostage Gilad Shalit was savage. The bloody hacking to death of the
Fogel family was savage. The Munich Olympic massacre was savage. The
unspeakable torture of Ehud Goldwasser was savage. The tens of thousands
of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel (into schools,
homes, etc.) are savage. The vicious Jew-hatred behind this genocide is
savage. The endless demonization of the Jewish people in the
Palestinian and Arab media is savage. The refusal to recognize the state
of Israel as a Jewish state is savage. The list is endless.

The Southern Poverty Law Center fraudulently parades
around as a civil rights group (like Hamas-CAIR), when in fact it is an
uber-left communist organization that is bent on destroying those who
are fighting for freedom, such as vets, tea parties and counter
jihadists. The SPLC was designated one of the gravest threats to freedom
in the United States on the AFDI Threats to Freedom Index.

SPLC has named me three hate groups.lml.
I equate the Southern Poverty Law Center coming out for Islamic
supremacists with them coming out for Nazis. What's the difference, and
why doesn't the SPLC even have a category for Islamic jihadi groups
or uber-left groups bent on destroying America? Not one. The greatest
threat facing our nation, our people, our world, and they are
shilling for them and smearing those of us fighting for preservation
of our freedom.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the SPLC was designated as a
Communist front. It was essentially run by a couple, Anne and Carl
Braden, who were CPUSA members. They had been identified in sworn
testimony, and they made no attempt to deny the allegations. They would
be proud that their legacy remains intact -- their "heirs," destroyers
and America-haters, continue their work to subvert and destroy America.

Ms. Geller bragged online
that she uses a Quran, Islam's holy text, as a doorstop.

That's from an article I wrote in the American Thinker. I was mocking the giant qurans that Hamas-CAIR gives out to inquirers. They actually had Michael Ghouse give me one on the set of Hannity. The article explains how even the quran that Hamas-CAIR gives out doesn't succeed in whitewashing Islam's violent and supremacist teachings. And anyway, so what? I am not a Muslim. I do not adhere to sharia rules governing how they handle the book they think is holy. Instead of making mountains out of molehills, when will they work to reform the quran's hateful and violent texts? When will they denounce the rising tide of quran-based Islamic Jew-hatred?

Two hotels in
Texas and Tennessee canceled contracts to host events at which Ms.
Geller was scheduled to speak because of her controversial reputation.

They did that because Zainab Chaudry's thuggish organization, Hamas-CAIR, bullied and intimidated them into doing so, in their rage and hate against those who speak the truth about Islam and jihad, and insatiable desire to silence them. Hamas-CAIR stalks me across the country (and my colleagues who champion our freedoms) in order to intimidate and bully hotels, organizatons, and venues into sharia blasphemy compliance. The Hyatt in Sugarland apologized for caving and gave me Hyatt space for free anywhere we wanted across the country. I chose Dearborn, and held the first human rights conference dedicated to the victims of honor killings, The Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference.

Mr. [sic!] Geller has claimed that "Hitler and the Nazis
were inspired by Islam" and that Islam "mandates" lies and deception.

According to testimony by Nazi war criminals, the
Mufti's influence was critical to the
German decision to annihilate the Jews of Europe. At the Nuremberg
Trials in July 1946, Eichmann's deputy Dieter Wisliceny (subsequently
executed as a war criminal) testified (here): "The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and
had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan... He was one of Eichmann's
best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by
Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chambers of Auschwitz." More here.

Quran 3:28 says: "Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference
to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it
be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were)
security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is the
journeying."

Robert Spencer explains that quran 3:28 "warns believers not to take unbelievers as friends
(َأَوْلِيَا — a word that means more than casual friendship, but
something like alliance), 'unless it be that ye but guard yourselves against them.' This is a
foundation of the idea that believers may legitimately deceive
unbelievers when under pressure. The word used here in the Arabic is
tuqātan (تُقَاةً), the verbal noun from taqiyyatan — hence the
increasingly familiar term taqiyya. The Qur'an commentator Ibn Kathir
says that the phrase rendered here as 'unless you have a fear of them'
means that 'believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety
from the disbelievers' may 'show friendship to the disbelievers
outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that
Abu Ad-Darda’ said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them."
Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah [taqiyya] is allowed
until the Day of Resurrection."' While many Muslim spokesmen today
maintain that taqiyya is solely a Shi’ite doctrine, shunned by Sunnis,
the great Islamic scholar Ignaz Goldziher points out that while it was
formulated by Shi’ites, 'it is accepted as legitimate by other Muslims
as well, on the authority of Qur’an 3:28.' The Sunnis of Al-Qaeda
practice it today."

She has also posted images on her blog that include a fake photograph of
then-Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan in a Nazi uniform, another fake image of President Barack Obama
urinating on an American flag, and drawings purporting to depict
Islam's Prophet Muhammad as a pig. In the past, she has suggested on her
blog that President Obama was the secret love-child of Malcolm X, and she has expressed support for the urination on corpses of dead Afghans by U.S. soldiers.

Obama: his anti-American policies are as open to satire as anything else. Muhammad as a pig: that was actually an image that imams falsely claimed was one of the notorious Danish Muhammad cartoons in order to stir up Muslim rage against those cartoons and the West's freedom of speech; I posted it as a news item. Malcolm X: Actually, this statement from Pamela Geller heads the actual post in question:
“The ‘Atlas says that Barack Obama is Malcolm X’s love child’ charge
has gone viral among leftards and lizards. The only problem with it is
that it is false. I am not the author of this post, and I posted it
because the writer did a spectacular job documenting Obama’s many
connections with the Far Left. The Malcolm X claim is one minor part of
this story, and was of interest to me principally as part of the
writer’s documentation that Stanley Ann Dunham could not have been where
the Obama camp says she was at various times. I do not believe that
Barack Obama is Malcolm X’s love child, and never did -- but there
remain many, many unanswered questions about his early life and
upbringing.” Urinating on corpses: when those who are outraged by this get just as outraged over the murders of American soldiers by their Afghan "allies," call me.

Disturbingly,
this is not the first time MDCAN has invited guest speakers who are
well-known bigots and anti-Muslim fanatics and who aggressively advocate
against religious and ethnic minorities. The troubling list of speakers
at past MDCAN events includes Frank Gaffney, another well-known
Islamophobe who was extensively cited, along with Ms. Geller, by Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik in his chilling manifesto released in the wake of the 2011 Norway attacks, and Fred Grandy,
a former radio show host and former congressman who has actively
promoted conspiracy theories of "creeping Sharia" and who has warned
Americans repeatedly that Muslims working within our government are
cause for concern.

It is almost inconceivable that one passing reference in a 1,516-page
screed would be sufficient for the Islamic/leftist machine to have assigned blame to me, and to those of us
who are working diligently to educate the people and preserve our
cherished freedoms. And yet libelous Hamas groups like CAIR and their
leftist tools in the media do just that. Breivik, in his madness, cited Edmund Burke, Thomas Jefferson, Barack
Obama, et al -- were they responsible as well? Breivik specifically
quoted John F. Kennedy, a hero of the American Left, as inspiration: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Check out this headline -- "Multi-faith group protests Pamela Geller, conservative conference." The "multi-faith group" was six Muslims. There were over 300 people at the Maryland Conservative Conference, but this silly grievance-mongering few get enormous TV coverage and editorial bias.
Watch the video:

The Muslima protester woman claims she was "terrified" when she heard I was going to be there speaking (why? I am fighting for her right to live a violence-free life). And even funnier is her claim that she has been a victim of many hate crimes. Say what? "Many hate crimes"? This woman must account for half of the few anti-Muslim "hate crimes" reported across the country. And this goes unchallenged by the reporter. But the money quote is Saqib Ali of the radical extremist CAIR calling me a "radical extremist." Ann Corcoran has a good report on Ali here.

Needless to say, they gave Hamas-CAIR almost the whole of the report. Typical hatchet job. They interviewed many attendees, but those interviews never made it, and they left out critical people like Cathy Trauernicht (the organizer). Oh, and nothing about the pizzas that the Conservative group ordered for the protesters...

Protesters outside held signs with messages such as "Hate is Not an American Value."

The Maryland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR-MD) organized the multi-faith protest, calling Geller the "leader
of a designated anti-Muslim hate group."

A statement on the Facebook page for CAIR-MD
says, "MDCAN has a history of bigotry against religious, ethnic and
sexual minorities. Unfortunately, instead of inviting legitimate
conservative speakers, MDCAN has instead chosen speakers who are
well-known bigots, conspiracy theorists..., anti-Muslim fanatics.

ABC7's Whitney Wild was there and interviewed Geller and some of the protesters.

In that I’m paraphrasing the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic
Relations’ ridiculous new ad campaign claiming that jihad is all about
getting in your exercise or making friends among people of a different
political perspective, as I wrote about in my WND column last month. But Hamas-CAIR’s real jihad is against the freedom of speech, as it proved again last weekend.

On Saturday, I addressed a standing-room-only crowd at the Maryland
Conservative Action Network’s annual conference. Other speakers included
Stanley Kurtz, Commissioner Richard Rothschild, Commissioner Blaine
Young, Tom Fitton and Delegate Nic Kipke (R-Pasadena), the new chairman
of the Anne Arundel County delegation to Maryland’s House of Delegates.

In the run-up to the event, Hamas-CAIR attempted to intimidate the
elected officials who had planned on speaking there also into canceling
their appearance. Why? Because I was also speaking, of course, and the
subject was, “In Defense of Free Speech” (ironically enough).
Hamas-CAIR continued its jihad to silence champions of freedom by also
urging the organizers to cancel my Saturday morning address.

They meant to threaten and bully our elected officials with a smear
campaign designed to destroy them if they dared to attend a conference
where I scheduled to speak. This is how these Nazis roll. They did the
Hitler jig and demanded that the Maryland Conservative Action Network
self-impose the most radical and extreme ideology on the planet, the
Shariah. Thuggery, intimidation and the silencing of critics of jihad
and Shariah: This is Islamic supremacism in action in a free country.

The original Nazis were cocky, too. Once. This century’s Nazis and
brownshirts must prohibit and restrict the truth in order to triumph.
Who are they to enforce a punitive code of savage laws on non-Muslims?
For those who chose to live under this system of barbarism, that is
their great misfortune. But Western politicians and leaders under
Western law are abandoning the pillars of our freedom, centuries of
Western philosophy, the era of enlightenment. And why? Fear of the
savage.

But the Hamas-CAIR thugs failed. One man stood tall and said no. You
wouldn’t think that you’d have to applaud an elected official for
standing in defense of freedom, but in the low state of the world today,
it is a rare man who does. Nic Kipke is such a man.

Kipke said this about me to the Anne Arundel Patch:
“She has strong views, but on comparison they are no more controversial
than that of someone on the left like Michael Moore. Pamela Geller may
say things that are politically incorrect, but she’s protected by the
First Amendment.”

Even better, he told the Maryland Gazette:
“I don’t know Ms. Geller personally. What I do know about her is that
she has pointed out gross atrocities that occur in some Muslim countries
against women.”

In all this coverage, it is no surprise that the media tools
described Hamas-CAIR as a Muslim advocacy group, despite its unindicted
co-conspirator status in the largest terrorist funding trial in our
nation’s history, and the convictions of several former members of its
leadership of terror-related crimes and its being known as a Muslim
Brotherhood proxy.

Even worse, on the day of my talk, the Baltimore Sun ran a lengthy
op-ed piece by Hamas-CAIR’s Zainab Chaudry. The same day that a
standing-room-only conservative conference gathered in a deep blue
state, the Baltimore Sun carried not a word about a conference itself,
but just a libelous screed from an operative of a subversive group
linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words,
according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and
destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable
house.” And will the Sun accord me equal time to rebut these
distortions and lies from Hamas-CAIR? Don’t bet on it.

In this “coverage,” I am referred to as a notorious “Islamophobe”
because of my defense of freedom in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. My
crime is opposing ethnic cleansing, misogyny, cultural annihilations,
jihadi wars, etc.It is those of us who speak against
such oppression and subjugation who are demonized and marginalized. If
you don’t fight this, you submit.

So kudos to Kipke. He did not submit. He is one of
the few politicians today with the spine to stand up to Islamic
supremacist intimidation. And so on Saturday, Islamic supremacism
suffered a stunning and well-deserved defeat.

Most of what Zainab Chaudry writes in this screed was taken verbatim from a recent Hamas-CAIR press release trying to strong-arm the Maryland Conservative Action Network into dropping my speech yesterday morning. Most of the half-truths, distortions and outright lies contained within it I give the truth about here.

But what I really want to know is, why is the Baltimore Sun giving editorial space to a propagandist for a Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood front group? And will they give me equal time? On the day of a standing-room-only conservative conference
in a deep blue state that hundreds attended, the Baltimore Sun carried not a word about the conference
itself, but just a libelous screed from an operative of a subversive group
linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words,
according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying
Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house.” The Hamas-CAIR protest attracted six people, but the Sun gives them the run of the paper. Shameful.

I am on my way to Maryland to address the Maryland Conservative Action Network Conference, MDCAN. Here is a typically clueless mainstream media report from the Anne Arundel Patch on Hamas-CAIR's attempt to strongarm righteous politicians like Nic Kipke and impose Sharia blasphemy laws on the free citizens attending MDCAN. Notice how Anna Staver repeats the lies and smears from Hamas-CAIR while pretending that the charges against them come from Kipke or me. And of course she never bothered to contact me for comment.

UPDATE: (12:10 p.m.)—Del. Nic Kipke (R-Pasadena),
the newly elected chairman of Anne Arundel County's House delegation, is
at odds with a Muslim group over his decision to attend a conservative
political conference in Annapolis on Saturday.

The disagreement between Kipke and Maryland's chapter of the Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is over Pamela Geller—one of the
conference's keynote speakers.

"It's really upsetting because this person coming, Pamela Geller, she
is just as out there and just as bigoted and racist as David Duke,"
said Saqib Ali, government relations director for CAIR-MD."It's just
like if the Klan was coming to town and these legislators said 'we are
going to go hang out with the KKK.'"

In Hamas-CAIR's world, fighting for justice, for free speech and equal rights for all people, makes you like the KKK. Fighting for Sharia's Jew-hatred and oppression of women and non-Muslims makes you a "civil rights group."

Ali, who is a former delegate from Montgomery County, has also called
on Del. Neil Parrott (R-Hagerstown), Carroll County Commissioner
Richard Rothschild and Frederick County Commissioner Blaine Young to
rescind their invitation.

"She has strong views but on comparison they are no more
controversial than that of someone on the left like Michael Moore,"
Kipke said. "Pamela Geller may say things that are politically incorrect
but she's protected by the First Amendment."

Ali disagreed, saying that Geller's statements are often "beyond the pale." He and CAIR have organized a protest outside the DoubleTree Hotel in Annapolis in opposition to Saturday's conference.

Geller launched on the national stage in 2010 when she helped lead
the charge against the building of a Muslim community center and mosque
near ground zero, according to the New York Times.

She's also responsible for a series of controversial ads running inside Washington DC's metro system, according to The Los Angeles Times.

The ad reads: "In any war between a civilized man and a savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.’’

Kipke said he doesn't agree with everything Geller says.

"I'm speaking at the conference about health reform," Kipke said.
"Obviously, this is an important topic, and I'm not going to miss an
opportunity to discuss the topic to please an extremist group like
CAIR."

Kipke said that CAIR has ties to organizations like Hamas and that
some of its leadership have made anti-Semitic statements. A claim Geller
also asserts on her website.

CAIR is the Council on American Islamic Relationsand
Maryland has a new chapter that is making headlines in perhaps its
first foray into the agitation business by attempting to intimidate
elected officials and keep them from speaking at the Maryland Conservative Action Network Conference on Saturday. Their beef is that outspoken defender of free speech, Pamela Geller, will be speaking ( ironically on the topic of defending free speech).

Hereis the Maryland Gazettestory
from yesterday in which Del. Nic Kipke, one of four targeted elected
officials on the program says he has no intention of backing out of the
program. Kipke will be speaking on Obamacare and how it will affect
Maryland.

The new chairman of the Anne Arundel
County House delegation said today he will attend a conservative
political conference Saturday in Annapolis despite calls from a Muslim
advocacy group that described a keynote speaker as a notorious
“Islamaphobe.”

Del. Nic Kipke, who was elected chairman
on Tuesday, called blogger and author Pamela Geller an outspoken critic
of the treatment of women in some Islamic countries.

“I don’t know Ms. Geller personally,” the
Pasadena Republican said. “What I do know about her is that she has
pointed out gross atrocities that occur in some Muslim countries against
women.”

The Maryland chapter of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations issued a statement Tuesday calling on Kipke
and other public officials to withdraw from the Maryland Conservative
Action Network Conference. The Gaithersburg-based group said Geller
co-founded an organization designated as a hate group by the Southern
Poverty Law Center.

Former Montgomery County Del.
Saqib Ali, government relations director for CAIR-MD, called his former
colleague’s defense of Geller “despicable.” He said she is widely know for spreading the “most vile sort of bigotry you could imagine.”

“Everybody knows who Pam
Geller is,” he said. “Sure, she criticizes people in foreign countries
but her main thrust are Muslims here … She led the effort to block a
Mosque in New York. She published a manual on how people can prevent
mosques from being built in their neighborhoods.”

Geller responded in her internationally-read and acclaimed blog, Atlas Shrugs, with praise for Kipke, here.

I am scheduled to speak this weekend at The Maryland Conservative
Conference. Hamas-CAIR demanded elected officials withdraw from the event because I would be speaking on "In Defense of Free Speech" (ironically enough). They mean to threaten and bully our elected officials with a smear
campaign designed to destroy them if they dare attend a conference where
I scheduled to speak. This is Islamic supremacism in action in a free
country.

Notice the media's description of Hamas-CAIR as a Muslim advocacy group, despite their un-indicted co-conspirator status in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation's history, whose leadership members have been convicted of terror-related crimes, and its being known as a Muslim Brotherhood proxy.

And I am referred to as a notorious "Islamophobe" because of my defense of freedom in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. My crime is opposing ethnic cleansing, misogyny, cultural annihilations, jihadi wars, etc.

Ali accused her of spreading unfounded rumors,
including the idea that President Barack Obama is secretly the child of
1960s radical Malcolm X.

"Kipke knows this, because I sent him an email. To
pretend that this is some respected human rights advocate is beyond the
pale," he said.

Geller's "In Defense of Free Speech" is one of two
morning keynote addresses scheduled at Turning the Tides 2013. A number
of Republican public officials are expected to participate, as is former
U.S. Senate candidate Dan Bongino of Severna Park.

In her "Atlas Shrugs"
blog on Tuesday, New York-based Geller criticized CAIR-MD's call to
boycott her appearance and claimed it has links to Hamas, the
Palestinian ruling party labeled a terrorist group by the United States.

"This is how these nazis roll. Thuggery, intimidation and the silencing of critics of jihad and sharia," she wrote.

Kipke described both CAIR-MD and the Southern Poverty
Law Center as out of step with main stream conservative and liberal
political thought.

"I'm sure these folks have a beef with her because
she doesn't speak in politically correct terms," Kipke said. "But when
it comes to an issue as important as human rights you need someone who
bangs the drum."

Ann Corcoran, a founder of MCAN, said the network was
created a few years ago to allow conservatives to meet and discuss
state and national issues. She said MD-CAIR has protested its
conferences before and called the latest effort an intimidation tactic.

I am scheduled to speak this weekend at The Maryland Conservative Conference. Hamas-CAIR is attempting to intimidate elected officials into canceling the event. Hamas-CAIR continues its jihad to silence champions of freedom, they are urging the organizers to cancel my appearance. This is how these nazis roll. Thuggery, intimidation and the silencing of critics of jihad and sharia.

They mean to threaten and bully our elected officials with a smear campaign designed to destroy them if they dare attend a conference where I scheduled to speak. This is Islamic supremacism in action in a free country.

(GAITHERSBURG,
MD, 1/8/13) – The Maryland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR-MD) today called on several state officials to withdraw
from the upcoming Maryland Conservative Action Network Conference in
Annapolis at which the leader of a designated anti-Muslim hate group
will speak.

CAIR-MD said Dels. Nic Kipke and Neil Parrott will join County
Commissioners Richard Rothschild and Blaine Young at the Saturday event
featuring a keynote address by Pamela Geller. Geller is co-founder of an
organization designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law
Center (SPLC) and author of a book offering step-by-step instructions on
how to stop mosque construction in America.

CAIR has attempted to intimidate the FBI and JTTF and dictate their
choice of speakers, and in doing so retailed numerous false charges,
defamation, distortions, and outright lies about me, SIOA, and Pamela
Geller.

CAIR has a long record of duplicity and deception. Although it has
received millions of dollars in donations from foreign Islamic entities,
it has not registered as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign
Agents Registration Act (FARA), despite spreading Islamic supremacist
propaganda within the United States.

Although it presents itself as a civil rights group, CAIR actually
has numerous links to Islamic supremacist and jihad groups. CAIR
founders Omar Ahmad and Niwad Awad (who still serves as CAIR's executive
director) were present at a Hamas planning meeting in Philadelphia in
1993 where they and other Hamas operatives conspired to raise funds
for Hamas and to promote jihad in the Middle East. CAIR has steadfastly
refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.

Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror:

* Ghassan Elashi, founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, in 2009 received a
65-year prison sentence for funneling over $12 million from the Islamic
charity known as the Holy Land Foundation to the jihad terrorist group
Hamas, which is responsible for murdering hundreds of Israeli civilians
* Mousa Abu Marzook, a former CAIR official, was in 1995 designated by
the U.S. government in 1995 as a "terrorist and Hamas leader." He now is
a Hamas leader in Syria. * Randall Royer, CAIR's former civil
rights coordinator, in 2004 began serving a 20-year prison sentence for
aiding al-Qaida and the Taliban against American troops in Afghanistan
and recruiting for Lashkar e-Taiba, the jihadist group responsible for
the 2008 Mumbai jihad massacres. * Bassem Khafagi, CAIR's former community relations director, was arrested
for involvement with the Islamic Assembly of North America, which was
linked to al-Qaida. After pleading guilty to visa and bank fraud
charges, Khafagi was deported. * Rabih Haddad, a former CAIR
fundraiser, was deported for his work with the Global Relief Foundation
(which he co-founded), a terror-financing organization.

In 1998 Omar Ahmad, CAIR's co-founder and longtime Board
Chairman, said: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith,
but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in
America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

After he received unwelcome publicity as a result of this statement,
Ahmad denied saying it, several years after the fact. However, the
original reporter, Lisa Gardiner of the Fremont Argus, stands by her
story.

CAIR's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper once said: "I wouldn't want to create
the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States
to be Islamic sometime in the future."
